ABSTRACT:
SQL Server 2008 represents a major evolutionary step for Microsoft SQL Server. As with most core systems such as SQL, adoption is driven by one of two factors. Either there is a new project that uses the latest technology to fend off software obsolescence, or there is an existing system that needs one particular feature that is only available in the newest product release. Which feature is the compelling upgrade driver varies from system to system and shop to shop. Sometimes there is no feature and systems can coast on the current platform. Either way, the features descriptions here should help with your particular upgrade decision.
